Hi, in order to try to help you the best I/we can, can you be more specific about your problem??

[Ginge29]

My phone battery just runs down so quickly and has only done so since I have been using the versa, I never had a problem with the HR2. I have checked all my settings and I am on "All day sinc" but other than that everything is good. I have seen that fitbit did a update to cure the problem but I don't think it had worked. I only bought the versa three weeks ago so all systems are up to date.

@Ginge29 Welcome to our Fitbit Community! Seems odd that your phone's battery started to drain fast. I would like to know a couple of details also: Is your Versa's battery draining quickly as well? Do you have the GPS or Bluetooth on your phone all the time enabled?

@SunsetRunner Thank you for your contribution in this thread!

See you both later!

Hi, I do have the bluetooth on all the time but always have with the HR2, the GPS is turned off. The versa battery is lasting about three days however I have always on display while working out. Thank you

Hi, Iwould advice you to switch off the "All day sync" setting cause that's draining also the battery. Do I understand you well that you have the display of your watch for a certain period of time set to "always on"? If yes, than this is the major issue of your battery problem. Good luck.

@Ginge29 I want to follow up on this and would like to know if your battery had improvement after following @SunsetRunner's tips.

Looking forward to your response!
